Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 4 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $144,857.
With little internal variation, 5.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
